TODAY IN PHILIPPINE HISTORY:

In accordance with the Tydings-McDuffie Act of 1934, The Philippines was given independence and the Republic of the Philippines was born.

The Tydings-Mcduffie Act, also called Philippine Commonwealth and Independence Act (1934), is a U.S. Statute that provided the Philippine independence after a 10-year transitional period of Commonwealth government. The bill was signed by U.S. Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt on March 24, 1934, and was sent to the Philippine Senate for approval.

Although that body had previously rejected the similar Hare-Hawes-Cutting Act, it approved the Tydings-McDuffie Act on May 1.
